Because it’s too hard to crumple a sheet of paper into a cube.
Big brain moment
Because throwing a paper ball into the bin( or the near floor) is far easier than a flat piece of paper.
When I’m building a fire I crumple the newspaper into a ball because it increase the surface area and density of the fuel, so it will burn longer and hopefully catch the wood on fire
Doesn’t that make it less energy efficient. Ofc it burns longer but with less powerrr ig so
I’m just using it to start a fire, so the efficiency isn’t really important. What I need is a couple minutes of hot flame that will light other things on fire.
Reasonable🗿
Good one!
The human hand naturally curves into a circular shape when closed.
Squeezing anything in a hand will naturally form a ball shape. This will occur with anything, but paper is more readily available and crumples easily.
IANAL, but I think it’s because balls are fun to play with.
You have been deceived. People always crumple paper into a flat disc shape. All evidence showing ball-shaped paper must have been fabricated.
I believe aliens contacted the ancient Egyptians and taught them the ways of crumpling paper into flat discs
It serves two purposes; easier to throw, and harder to read. You do it to things you don’t need anyone to read.
Ohh yeaahhh This is a good one🧠
If you get frustrated by something you’re writing, crumpling it into a ball gets out frustration by destroying the work and then it’s easier to toss into a garbage can.
I organize tasks with post-it notes on a wall, partly for the satisfaction of crumpling it into a ball when I get something done.
“Frustration” (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
